ABOUT JIM GOODWIN

Beginning in 2026, after nearly thirty years as a full-time litigator, and just shy of 60 jury trials, I have transitioned to semi-retirement and am no longer accepting new cases as lead trial counsel. I now focus my practice on providing advisory and alternate dispute-resolution services. My goal is simple: help clients avoid litigation whenever possible, and to resolve conflicts efficiently, thoughtfully, and on their own terms when litigation cannot be avoided.​My interest in alternative dispute resolution began in graduate school, where I studied communication theory. Today, I combine those principles with decades of courtroom experience to help parties find practical, durable solutions. I offer mediation, arbitration, jury selection, and litigation consulting services designed to reduce risk, control costs, and move matters forward.Although I am stepping away from serving as lead trial counsel, I remain deeply connected to the courtroom. When litigation is necessary, I can assist strategically or help you find the right advocate for your case.
